Hubballi: Police rescued five women from a hotel where prostitution was allegedly taking place on Friday. Police commissioner N Shashikumar stated that a raid was conducted at the hotel in Hosur, acting on a tip-off given by Mysuru-based Odanadi Seva Samsthe.
"Five women from West Bengal were rescued, and five persons, including the hotel manager, staff, and a customer, were detained," he added.
Odanadi founder Stanley mentioned that prostitution was occurring on the second floor of the hotel. "They reserved the ground floor and first floor for customers. Thousands of condoms distributed by the Tamil Nadu health department were seen on the second floor. They also built a tunnel in the toilet, to hide or escape from there. A customer was hiding there during our raid," he said.
He added that he informed Nagalaxmi Choudhari, chairman of the Karnataka State Women Rights Commission, about the incident.
